Choosing a fragrance for someone you love is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. It’s personal, luxurious, and lasts long after the holidays are over. If you’re stuck on where to begin, looking at scents tied to Korean celebrities is a surprisingly great place to start — many of them gravitate toward soft, wearable, crowd-pleasing perfumes.


Here’s a curated lineup of fragrances that make beautiful gifts for anyone on your list this season.


1. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre

Soft, bright, effortless — a favorite among Korean actresses

Notes: grapefruit, rose, white musk

This is one of those fragrances that simply works on everyone. It’s fresh without being sharp, floral without being heavy, and always feels polished.
